Why immediate rhymes the way it does
Immediate is three-syllable, its rhyme-relevant vowel sitting on the front /ษ/, then it lands on a closed syllable. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 3 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 336, assonance 8,301, and consonance 1256. That's a narrow strict column with a very deep slant well beneath it. Modern songwriting reads those slants as rhymes; the ear has been trained on them for a century. In the room with a guitar: write toward the strict rhyme first, then go back through and replace the obvious ones with the assonance matches that earned their place. Immediate is a word that benefits from the second pass.
